It’s difficult to grow revenue faster than your industry’s growth rate and faster than your competitors.

ABM is perfect in an environment where you make or miss your number based on a few big deals. To attain over achievement there are a half of dozen deals a year that are very large. Having marketing focused on those deals, with sales, increases the probability of closing those. ABM is all about having marketing focused on helping us generate those big deals.
